I received this in an email a few days ago with a request that I post it on this site or put it in a blog. I have decided to do the latter. I love these kind of charts. There was one about which political party one should belong to, what religion one should adhere to, and so on. This is a flow chart about what kind of protection one might need depending on where you are and what kind of threat you’re facing.

Of course I think the Iron-man armor, or even the powered armor from Heinlein’s Starship Troopers would be the best choice for protection. Zombie Apocalypse? No problem. Just mash them to goo and hose the suit off afterwards. Baring that my favorite protection against unarmed creatures would be full plate armor and a broadsword. But enjoy this flow chart as it is.
